ATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Co-Operative Competition VOL. XX11. Co-Oper Con "If the colored grocerymen could in some way co-operate to protect themselves from bad creditors, it would do much to help them to greater success." This statement was made at a recent meeting of the Local Negro Business League of Tuskegee, Alabama. Progressive white merchants in many localities are now co-operating to regulate the extension of credit and to extend their business through joint advertising plans and uniform systems of prices and store service. Colored men can perfect similar local organizations through their Local Business Leagues. In some localities, our business men who happen to be in the same line have petty jealousies among themselves which tend to weaken their efforts. Instead of "knocking" and trying to undersell one another, they should combine for the common cause—reaching the strings of the colored family purse which is constantly open to purchase food, clothing and other necessities. Such co-operation would stimulate duplication of effort and thereby increase returns at decreased cost of selling. If our business men in each community would come together in accordance with this suggestion the following plan would' if put into operation, do much to reduce losses from bad debts: 1. Call a meeting of all the colored business men and instruct each man to bring in a list of his customers. 2. To combine these lists alphabetically into one complete list and opposite the name and address of each customer place some symbol to indicate their rating. For instance, "Al" might represent "Good Risk"; "BB" might represent "Slow Pay, but responsible"; etc., until every person in the town has been listed and rated so as to protect these business men. 3. Each merchant could then keep a complete list of these names for references when about to extend credit to a customer. Great care should be taken, however, in keeping the meaning of the symbols confined to the knowledge of the business men who have cooperated under the plan. This list being nothing more than a confidential understanding between these men for heir mutual protection. Access of this list would be of great value to grocers, tailors, shoemakers, doctors, dentists and all business and professional men of the race. In somewhat the same way these merchants could co-operate to advertise their business. A halfpage in the local colored paper may be purchased and several forceful and pointed advertisements of the "reason," style could be inserted in this space to show the many reasons why colored people should patronize colored business enterprises and somewhere in the advertisement the names of all the local merchants who have taken part in the plan should be inseated, and would in that way be associated with an idea which is both novel and progressive. An endless variety of these advertisements can be prepared on account of the breadth of the subject and the many reasons which may be advanced. At the same time this plan would secure more active co-operation from the colored publisher to the mutual benefit of all members of the race. In case no colored paper is published in that community, the matter may be put into the shape of a circular or a letter and sent direct to every colored person in the city. Co-operative buying should be considered under this discussion, but we shall reserve it for a separate Talk, since its field is somewhat complicated and it could be best accomplished after the credit and advertising pians are worked out and confidence between the merchants are established. Detailed information concerning these plans will be furnished to the business men of any community Free of Charge if a letter is addressed to Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, The National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Local Negro Business Leagues should take steps to organize committees at once, to organize these credit and advertising clubs, and in communities where no Leagues are in operation a letter should be addressed to the Secretary of the National League who will forward information concerning them. Dr. H. Green of Knoxville, Tennessee, have done very commendable work this summer in connection with bettering the health of the children of his county.

SEPTEMBER 18. 1915 NEGRO METHODISTS Springfield, Mass., September 10.—Efforts are being made to bring about a union of all Negro Methodist churches of the country. These are three in number, the African, the African Zion and the Colored, and the Methodist church proper, the large northern body, there are 19 conferences of Negro people. Altogether there are some 1,600,000 Negro Methodists, one race, one government, one doctrine, covering the same territory and drawing for support upon the limited resources of the Negro people. Some years ago, in the South, the Methodist church tried the plan of mixed district conferences, only to abandon it is unsatisfactory both to white and black. Now there is a movement to create a Methodist church of all America, that shall have four general conferences and the same number of boards of bishops. This great movement takes in Methodist South and North, but is limited to white Methodists. It is held that such a new plan will be materially helped if the 19 district conferences of Negro people will go with other Negro Methodists, and with them perhaps form one large Methodist body of Negro people. The plan is reported to be growing in favor among Negro people themselves, but it is admitted that several years will be required to bring it about. MUST NOT ASK ABOUT COL O OF APPLICANT.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK A Local League in Action.—A report from the Local Negro Business League of St. Joseph, Missouri, says in part: "The Local League here has increased its membership threefold and is endeavoring to fill the place in the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouraging. The basic plan of action as adopted is 'one thing at the time.' For the present the task before us is that of getting our institution of charity, a Colored Hospital and Orphanage for Northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many minor activities engaging our attention from time to time as our League is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, projects and efforts of a social and economic nature."

President Oscar Baker was unable to be present. The portrait was made by a Negro. The Michigan exhibit came in for the lion's share of observation and all of the articles shown, from the needlework of an eight-year-old girl to numerous quilts made by eighty-year-old "Aunt Debby" Anderson of Cass county, were made ready for inspection. "Aunt, Debby" modestly bears the distinction of having made more than 3,000 quilts during her life. Particular attention was called to the needlework of two blind Negro girls who are students of a Lansing school. The principal exhibits from Michigan came from Cass county, where the majority of the Negro population, outside of the large cities of the state, is located. The Negro population of Cass county owns an area of about fifteen miles, most of which is devoted to farming, at which industry the Negroes have proved themselves efficient. One or two of the Negro farmers own as much as 2,000 acres of land, and their homes are fitted out with the latest appliances for the comfort of the occupants. While about 3,000 Negroes live in Cass county, the exhibit was by no means limited to that area. There were exhibits from nearly every important town and city in the state. The exhibits were mostly of needlework and millinery by the women and farm products raised by the men. An old darky named Turney Byrd has a new fangled dump wagon which he devised and which he is using to good advantage in his home town of Lansing. The wagon can be emptied at at once or a quarter or a half load at a time. While not strictly included in the Michigan exhibit, the booth of the United States census bureau was in charge of a Detroit Negro—Robert A. Pelham—who has been employed in that federal department for the last 15 years. The booth was given over to the "Story of the Census" from the Negro's standpoint, and tended to show that the Negro clerks in the department exceed in some respects in efficiency the white employees. The story is told by pamphlets arranged by Mr. Pelham and deals with the growth in favor of the Negro in government employ and shows how he has justified the confidence that Uncle Sam has placed in his ability. Incidentally Mr. Pelham shows two devices which he invented and which are now in use in the census bureau—namely, a paste-supplying device and a tallying machine—the latter working on the principle of an adding machine and used in recording the population. As far as possible the industrial exhibits at the exposition in Chicago show the Negro actually at work demonstrating his handicraft, wrote Bishop Fallows. Tuskegee and the other great Negro schools will be represented, and Booker T. Washington and other noted Negro educators will come to add their efforts to make the exposition a success. The Negro's progress. has been wonderful. Fifty years ago, as an army officer and minister, I saw the forbears of the Negro of today walk into camp, ignorant and unlettered. I taught the old folks, leading their children, their first letters that they Born in 1801 and celebrating her one hundred and fourteenth birthday a few weeks ago, Hannah Owens, a Negress who lives about a quarter of a mile behind Agency Hill, is still young enough and spry enough to preside over a court consisting of five Negro women, the youngest of whom has reached the age of ninety, says the Muskogee Phoenix. The woman was born in Georgia in 1801. She remembers nothing of her early life, and has no record of her birth, but she knows that she was married in 1829, and she remembers clearly, she says, that her mother told her on her wedding day she was twenty-eight years old. She was a slave before the war to John P. Maddox, she says. The woman declares that she isn't glad to have her freedom. "They made me roll logs and hoe cotton and plow," she said, "but they fed me more than I get now and they gave me a better place to sleep, with more covers, and I wish I was back there again." She did not know of the war in Europe. She didn't know what Europe is Reports, submitted to the annual convention of the National Negro Business league, Boston, showed that, in the 15 years since the organization of the league, the total value of farm property owned by Negroes in the United States has increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. Coming down town this morning you met a little girl on her way to school. By the time you get home this evening she will be a grown-up young woman dressing for a party. might be able to read the New Testament. When I realize what the Negro has done for himself and what has been done for him since, I am astounded. The object of the exposition is a better understanding of the relation between the white and the Negro population of the United States. We have from 9,000,000 to 11,000,000 Negroes—about one-tenth of our total population. They have developed with the nation. In every battle, from the Civil war down, the Negro has fought. He is found in every walk of our national life. There can be a true racial and social feeling only when there is an end of needless antagonism. Our aim is to make this exposition the greatest movement ever created to bring about a better understanding. The Negro has a capacity to grow, to do things and to be one of us. We aim to show that isolated cases trumpeted all over the country are only the muck thrown off the great wheel of Negro progress. As a general I helped emancipate the Negro. In my church life we early gave Negro pres'vaters the same right on the floor of our general council as whites. The Confederate officer who fired one of the first shots at Sumter became a bishop in my church and devoted his whole life to the education and development of the Negro. He was Lishop E. F. Stevens. Before the war he was commander of the South Carolina Military institute, which turned out more Confederate officers than any other institution, save possibly one. After the war he became bishop of all the Negroes of his state. He was my close friend. Indeed, it was on my motion that he became a bishop. The exposition will include singing by great choruses of the most noted jubilee singers in the country. There will be folk song festivals, historical tableaux deicting the advance of the colored people, and other interesting and instructive features. The work of the Tuskegee institution is extending. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has given this opportunity. He has reserved a fund to be expended in school extension among the Negroes of Alabama. This beneficence is to be distributed through Tuskegee institute upon the recommendation of its president. Already schools have been built upon the plan in 12 counties, including Macon, Russell, Lee, Chambers, Tallapoosa, Coosa, Dallas, Perry, Hale, Montgomery and Lowndes. Each county's own people must raise $300 and Mr. Rosenwald will give an equal amount; the property is deeded to the state; the teachers paid by county school funds and the schools are planned to cover just such work as I have above described in the cottage training at Tuskegee. Can you see anything but help to accrue—civilization, better morals, better service, less need of jails and penitentiaries? When everything is done to build a better man or woman, no matter what the color, it is social service, kindness, uplift. The Negro race today has a leader who is a missionary—the best among them; if they follow his lessons as I saw them at Tuskegee, they are entering a new life, and their white friends, North and South, are glad to see them improve their character and their skill.—Mrs. J. S. Reid in Birmingham Age-Herald. when she was told about it. Seemingly all she cares for is hearing news of her relatives and getting something to eat each day. The other old women who live near her all have interesting stories, but they admit themselves the inferior of their dean. They are Rose Caesar, one hundred; Emma Durham, ninety-two, and Sarah Davis and Emma Warrn, both ninety. A Boston correspondent of an eastern paper remarks that scattered throughout the South are thousands of industrious and respected Negroes, who, while they know nothing at all about books, and are, indeed, unable to read or write, nevertheless have accumulated property and given their children the opportunity of going to good schools. This will be widely recognized as good news not only by enterprising colored people the country over, but also by white people who desire to see the colored population in the United States receive fair treatment. The water in the Panama canal is gradually becoming salty. The rush of people into Vera Cruz, Mexico, since United States soldiers evacuated it, has raised the population from 35,000 to more than 100,000. It is said that all traces of the cleanup our troops made have long since disappeared, and that the water and sanitation problems are acute. A luminous paint for automobiles invented in England, is said to be so effective that a car coated with it is visible at night for two miles without the use of lamps. DAILY WAR COST IS $17,000,000 BRITISH ARE SPENDING FABULOUS SUMS TO CONTINUE EUROPEAN WAR. ENLIST 3,000,000 MEN U. S. - GERMAN CRISIS OVER IN TWO WEEKS, DECLARES BERNSTORFF. Western Newpaper Union News Service. London.—The seventh vote of credit since the outbreak of the war, bringing up the total to £1,262,000, 000 ($6,310,000,000), was moved in the House of Commons by Premier Asquith. The amount asked for Wednesday was £250,000,000 ($1,250,000, 000). The growing expenditures for the war were emphasized by the premier. He said the average daily cost from April 1 to the end of June was £2,700,000 ($13,500,000); from July 1 to July 17, £3,000,000; from July 18 to Sept. 11, £3,500,000 ($17,500,000). Thus the total for this period, in round figures, is £500,000,000. There has been repaid £50,000,000 to the Bank of England; £30,000,000 has been lent to foreign governments, and £28,000,000 loaned to the Dominions. Mr. Asquith estimated that the weekly gross expenditure henceforth would not exceed £35,000,000. It was his opinion that the new vote would carry the country through to the third week in November. The premier announced that nearly 3,000,000 men had enlisted. New York.—That the difficulties between the United States and Germany will be settled within a fortnight was the opinion voiced by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, at his hotel here Wednesday shortly after his return from Washington. Approached by a newspaper man, Count von Bernstorff said: "Ordinarily, I give only prepared interviews over my signature. Today I shall make an exception: You may say, for me, that I am sure that within a fortnight all supposed difficulties between the United States and Germany will have been settled and permanently settled, and the nations will be more friendly than they ever have been." Count von Bernstorff added that he felt gratified over the outcome of his conference with Secretary Lansing. BALL:OON MAN FALLS 1,200 FEET Eddie Coy Fatally Injured While Giving Exhibition at Pueblo Fair. Pueblo.—Eddie Coy, a balloonist and parachute jumper, fell 1,200 feet and was fatally injured in view of a crowd of 15,000 people who were watching his exhibition at the State Fair here Wednesday. Coy jumped from his balloon about 1,800 feet above the spectators' heads and descended about 600 feet with one fold of the parachute open. The second and larger fold should then have opened, but the releasing mechanism failed to work and Coy shot down crashing through the roof of a house a few hundred feet from the gates of the park. Both legs, several ribs and an arm were broken and he was injured internally. He was removed to the hospital, where he died six hours after the accident. Weldon Cook, a Beachy aviator, employed at the 1914 fair, fell to his death within a few hundred yards of the same place one year ago. He was conducting exhibition flights and had performed several difficult tricks in his machine, when the crowd saw the aeroplane dip, turn completely over and crash to the earth. Governor Says T.R. Victimized Denver:That evidence before the Military Court of Inquiry shows that detectives for the United Mine Workers of America tried to get the aid of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, in a campaign to prevent enlistments in the Colorado National Guard, unknown to the colonel, was the statement made by Governor Carlson.

Mint Superintendent Announces Increase of Eight to Ten Millions a Year in Centennial State Output. Denver.—Thomas Annear, superintendent of the United States mint in Denver, announces a gold and silver increase from Colorado points which will total from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 in a year if the increase keeps up to the mark it has made for the last three or four months. "We run about $20,000,000 a year in gold and silver from points outside Colorado and about the same amount from points within Colorado," declared the superintendent. "During the last three or four months there has been a remarkable increase, running between twenty and twenty-five per cent in both volume and the number of places shipping to us. That is, both as to the total and as to the different properties which must be working, else they would not be making shipments. This is not a theory or a prediction; it is a fact shown by gold and silver deposits. It can mean only one thing, and that is a revival in the mining business. A curious feature of the increase is that it is coming almost entirely from Colorado." CROPS SHOW GOOD GAIN. Large Increases in Colorado This Year Compared with 1914 Yields. Denver.—The federal forecast promises large increases in Colorado crops this year as compared with the 1914 yields. Corn, winter wheat, spring wheat, oats, barley and potatoes all hold out hopes of showing figures from 3.5 per cent to 5 per cent largegran than those of last year. Hay and fruit yields from Colorado will be less, according to Uncle Sam's experts, but the sugar beet crop is predicted as the same. The tables issued by the Department of Agriculture are as follows: Colorado Crop Report Court Finishes Officers' Probe. Denver.—The State Military Court has almost completed the examination of witnesses in regard to the conduct of the National Guard and of individual officers against whom charges have been made. When that phase of its investigation is finished it will take up the investigation of reported attempts by the United Mine Workers to prevent enlistments in the guard as it is able to obtain witnesses upon the subject. Demand Leddy Pay $9,868 Shortage. Demand Leddy Pay $9,868 Shortage. Denver.—State Treasurer Allison Stocker and State Auditor Harry E. Mulinx made formal demand upon Michael A. Leddy, former treasurer, to pay to the state $$$,868.30, the amount of the shortage recently uncovered in the accounts of the state treasurer's office. Mr. Leddy will make a formal demand for the same amount upon the bondsmen of Julius Clark, bookkeeper in the treasurer's office, who committed suicide last April. Denver.—At a supplementary proceeding in the case of R. J. Rigdon against E. V. Holland, testimony was introduced regarding the selling of bonds issued by the state for the payment of the indebtedness incurred in the southern Colorado coal strike. The statement was made that the soldiers received whatever they could get, from twenty-five to seventy-five per cent in trade on their certificates, and that some who speculated in the bonds lost money. Holland testified he handled about $92,000 worth of bonds, making money for clients and a small sum f or himself. Governor's Day at Farm Congress. Denver.-Oct. 4 has been set aside as Governor's Day during the Farm Congress Exposition to be held here. There will be governors from nearly all states west of the Mississippi. Come Made Money in State Bonds. Accusations Stricken from Reply. Denver.—The State Civil Service Commission ordered certain phrases and lines struck out of the reply made by Harry W. Risley to the charges made against him by Governor Carlson. In these phrases Mr. Risley declared the governor's action was taken for political and unworthy purposes. The commission struck them out upon petition of Senator W. R. Eaton, attorney for the governor, on the ground that they were conclusions and not all legations of fact.

After a careful study of this subject, following closely the reports of the National Negro Business League and opinions from various other sources, we have concluded that the Negro has every reason to be hopeful in this particular as he seems determined to launch out into the deep and “paddle his own canoe.” Among the other races is noticed an important feature— that of combination and consolidation, which actually changes the old law of “the strong against the weak” to “the strong made stronger,” by their united action and oneness of aim and purpose. Business to our mind can be compared to any of the arts or sciences, and should be treated in the same manner as the diligent student pursues his scholastic course in his ambition to become a professional. Its variety of angles, its multidudinous channels compel careful training to be a successful business man or woman, and therefore it can be readily seen where the cause of success or failure lies if we profit by the experiences offered from time to time by the fall and rise of business among other people. In Denver as in other cities we note how companies are orgahized, large enterprises undertaken, how transactions from small beginnings have grown and developed to such extent as to merit state or interstate law to check them from monopolizing, and in tracing the origin of this or that business the fact is revealed in possibly, one man conceiving an idea with no money to back him, submits it to another who hasn't much to foster the scheme, but who in turn mentions to another and another until the desired funds are raised, the project matured and placed on the market, resulting in an almost astonishing success. Note the readiness to accept the idea—the willingness to give it a trial and the concerted action in getting it before the public, Surely there ean be no room for failure when such a spirit is among a people. It is very gratifying to know how our people are determined to hold their own in the Southland in spite of difficulties, opposition, etc., but if we are to succeed as a whole and make general progress as a race so as to be at par with other races, we must follow the same order by which others become possessors of business acumen which is an insurance of any business and a stability of trade relationship. We cannot boast ot millionaires and multi-millionaires at present, and if not only in the South, but throughout the length and breadth of this country, we could only arouse the spirit of pertaining to and entertaining the good traits, business tactics and progressive ideas of other races, eschewing their evil acts and eliminat- ing any of their ills that we have copied or imitated, then shall we be not only an intellectual and moral force in this land, but a FINANCIAL, which would be reckoned with at no distant date. The seed is sown—the get-together policy is invading our ranks and defeating the friends and backers of selfishness and non-interest in our worthy cause, and therefore we are having an unsurpassed inspiration that actuates us to stir ourselves and our fellow race-lovers to our duty, which demands and commands our attention immediately, “All men are equal” in the imagination of our beautiful code of laws. We know what makes the difference. Let us prepare and meet it, OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOLOXLOXOXOLOXLOLOXLOXLOXOIOXOXLSOXSTexexexexre THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. | L. B.

When the vapors of such liquids as gasoline, alcohol, ether, carbon disulphide, etc, are mixed with air, they burn with extreme readiness and most often with the rapidity which we describe by the term “explosive violence.” ‘The heat of the electric spark is sufficient to ignite such mix- tures quite readily—in fact, we constantly use it in all kinds of gas and gasoline engines, Fires apd explosions in dry-cleaning establishments have often resulted from the ignition of gasoline vapors by sparks of static electricity. ‘The same thing sometimes occurs in garages, printing shops, cotton mills, flour mills, powder mills, coal mines and a number of other industries, In the case of flour mills and some coal mines the burning is of dnst particles. Friction in a dry atmosphere appears to be most favorable for static sparks. A moving machine or belt is a common source. Friction of dry paper, woolen or silk goods, a blast of air, a hot box and many other causes are known. Another source of danger is the ignition of explosive mixtures, such as are named above, by the sparking of motors, coils, short circuits, ete. To avoid or diminish sparks of static electricity a moist atmosphere is often made use of. To avoid the dangers of the second class of elec- trical sparks one must use every possible precaution, and so plan and run his plant that there ean be no possible contact of explosive vapors or solide with any possible source of an electric spark. ape, but as the slightly more etherealized hypothesis would have it, from an extinct anthropoid mammal, a purely hypothetical common ancestor, as Ernest Haeckel in his “Last Words on Evolution” candidly admits. ‘This is the generally accepted scientific conception of man’s origin. Man and the ape are considered the two divergent branches from the same stem form. The anatomical similarities, embryological development and paleontolog- ical evidences, all, in the opinion of scientists, strongly corroborate their contentions that man is descended from some apelike progenitor now long extinct, nowhere to be found (“the missing link” is not now in question), a pure supposition. Might not these facts prove equally well the counter- theory that man originally produced the whole higher mammalian stock? I, as one of a body of thinkers whose views may be considered hereti- cal, do not deny the facts and finds unearthed by science, but from the given facts deduce with equal logic a different conclusion. If the pithe- canthropus erectus in the opinion of comparative anatomists is indifferently an apelike man or a manlike ape, is it not just as plausible to assume, in the absence of any proof to/the contrary, that man generated the remote ancestor of the modern anthropoids, which thereby constituted a retro- gressive departure from the human type, a spurious, unnatural offshoot grafter on the human stirps, which gave rise in the course of evolution to the different primates now existing? T should refer any who are interested in this subject to “The Human Species,” by the French naturalist, De Quatrefages, wherein they will find the views of a fearless scientific authority, by no means orthodox, on the crigin of man. : learned men affected to speak slightly of immortality as unimportant even if true. In the darkness of desolation which the old materialism brought upon us men whistled to keep up their courage and tried with quivering voices to assure cach other that, after all, the future did not matter. But the bluff was paltry and pitiful. It does matter. The most thrilling question that mon ask is this: “If a man die shall he live again?” Happily we have come now to the real discovery of the soul. Eucken, Bergson, Myers and Lodge, on the other side of ‘the Atlantic: James, Royce and Ormond, on this side of the Atlantic, have been pointing out to us what the Book has always assured us, “That life shall live for ever~ more, else earth is darkness at the core and dust and ashes all that is.” We believe this not only from what we are learning of the soul as the supreme energy whose extinctien would mean the direct violation of that great law of the conservation of energy, but we believe it from deeper reasons. ‘Thus can the great presumptions drawn from the nature of God, from his love and his justice and his desire for fellowship. was earning less than $100 a month decided to marry the woman should have some certain amount of money saved up—say $1,500. After buying her clothes from this amount she could then put away abont $1,200 or $1,300, or invest it in some good security. The interest on it each year would be enough to buy her own clothes, instead of making the husband do it. I don’t wonder there are so many divorces, when the average mua, working on a small salary, has to carry the full burden, while the law looks on and approves of it. If the rnan pays all the rest of the expenses, why should not the woman help out by getting her own clothes and other personal needs? I think if such a law were passed there would be no such thing as divorce. This would only be justice for both parties to the marriage can- tract, instead of the one-sided affair it is at the present time. Of course, [ am speaking of the average working man.

A. M. E. CONFERENCE. The twenty-ninth session of the Colorado Annual Conference opened with Shorter Chapel A. M. E. church Wednesday morning, Bishop Henry Blanton Parks presiding. This being the year when delegates are elected to the General Conference, which will be held at Philadelphia next May, was perhaps the occasion for the ministers and delegates arriving so early at the seat of the conference. Bishop Parks preached the annual sermon, giving timely advice to the pastors and emphasizing the necessity of a fuller development of this western work on the part of African Methodism. The usual statistical work was taken up immediately after the conclusion of the bishop's sermon and the administration of the Lord's supper. At no time since the organization of the Colorado Annual Conference, as shown by the reports submitted at this session, have the missionary interests of the church been as fully developed and as far advanced, as at this period of African Methodism in Colorado. Denver has done herself proud in the preparation made for the entertainment of this conference. Shorter Chapel church, where conference is being held, has been fully renovated and is unquestionably the most beautiful church of the connection in this state. Usually most interest on the part of the ministers centers about the report of the largest churches, and more especially the church at the largest city. For this part of the conference these churches are inclusive of Shorter Chapel, Denver, Campbell Chapel, Denver, Payne Chapel, Colorado Springs, St. John A. M. E. church, Pueblo, St. Paul A. M. E. church, Pueblo. At each of these churches the reports showed a vast increase in membership, material development and missionary activity. Dr. Robert L. Pope, pastor of Shorter excelled all other reports and made the largest report that has ever come from that church. Prominent among the exceptional features that came to the attention of the conference, was the work of the Rev. John Adams, D. D., at Pueblo, Rev. Adams was assigned to this charge at the last session of the conference, which was held at Colorado Springs. This was at that time the fourth charge in the conference. In one year this pastor has very nearly completed the erection of a fourteen thousand dollar edifice and has brought this charge to second place in the conference. The only church plant in the Colorado work, which will have the leading of this in any respect, will be that of Shorter Chapel, Denver. Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, with offices at Nashville, Tennessee, and Dr. J. Frank McDonald, editor of the Western Recorder, with offices at Kansas City, Mo., are visiting the conference and will speak. The welcome service. Wednesday night was decidedly inspiring. The program was arranged by the pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope, B. D., and as claimed by the people of Denver was the most snappy and brilliant of the kind ever in DRY GOODS CO.

Prominent ministers visiting the conference were heard to express themselves upon the Wednesday night's service, and claim that it was a unique service so far as their experience goes. This was so because the pastor made a diversion from the usual custom and presented a sort of foresic meeting. Popular themes were discussed as well as classic rendition in song and recital. The participants on the program were as follows: Miss Nelsine Howard, Mrs. E. M. Reeves, Attorney W. B. Townsend, Bishop H. B. Parks, Rev. John Adams, Mrs. Edna Buford, Miss Lillian B.

Have all in order for an emergency. All the irises are beautiful and hardy, and there are many varieties of coloring. Fall is the time to plant them. Rose clumps, and clumps of herbace- ous perennials should be divided this fall, if needed, and given new posi- tions. Fuchsia fulgens is a summer bloom- er, and should be taken up as cold weather comes on, potted in small pots, watered thoroughly, and stored under the greenhouse bench, or in @ warm cellar until March. Tea roses do their thriftiest grow- ing during the cool, moist days of autumn. Keep the insects down and give good care. Mulch with dead leaves. Oleanders, lemons, oranges, hydran- geas, abutilons, chrysanthemums, and nearly all tub plants are best wintered in the cellar. Keep growing now. By L. M. BENNINGTON. Put the lemon verbena away in the cellar as soon as leaves fall. Take up tuberoses that have not bloomed. They will bloom indoors. Keep potting plants that you intend to carry over. Soak the ground well before lifting. Crinum oranta is not a winter bloom- er. The bulbs should be kept in slight. ly-moist sand until February or March. Let the spotted calla ripen, then take up and keep in dry sand in a frost-proof place until the new year. Bring the agapanthus indoors when cold weather sets in, and set in a cool cellar. Pot the water hyacinth in soil, keep wet but not sloppy, and set in the sunshine in a warm room. No matter what you try to keep over winter, you cannot know too much about caring for it.

Othe thoroughbreds were purchased and there are now at the station at Front Royal, Va., eighteen sires, of which ten are thoroughbreds, the others being trotters and saddle stallions. The prepotency of the thoroughbred, experts declare, makes him ideal for the work in hand, and, as racing was in its darkest days when the work was Mmaugurated, the task of securing horses of quality was easy. There was a disposition from the start to render the government every assistance in a work that is regarded as second to none in economic importance. With Russia's appropriation for horse breeding totaling more than $4,000,- 000 for 1914, and the czar adding more than $1,000,000 in the same period from his private purse, there was cause for faultfinding when the appro: priation for the work in the United States during the same period was cut from the original $50,000 to $30,000. Now the department has been notified that it must carry on the work for the coming twelve months for $25,000, and tere is certain to be an appeal to congress as soon as the house convenes. .” “Snookums” Gets a Government Job at the Zoo I. usually takes a civil service examination to enter the United States gov- ernment’s s'iryeying corps, but such red tape did not trouble “Snookums.”| He nonchalantly annexed himself to the government surveying party at Papago reservation, Arizona, and now he has obtaine!l a permanent appoint- —— ment.

He was found while Mr. Anderson and his associates were survey- ing near the Mexican line, in Arizona. oo The wildcats are regarded as dangerous animals in that region, and even after “Snookums” was taken to camp, it was feared his mother might track him by night and put up a fight to rescue him. But the rest of the family probably kept her home. The party became attached to the mascot, and, when the work was done it was decided that “Snookums” ought to remain in the government service. Superintendent Baker of the Zoo here wrote that he would be glad to provide permanently for the animal. Meantime the cat had become domesticated. He was friendly and intel- ligent. He did not much like being placed in a box for shipment East, but éven at that indignity he did no more than show his teeth and ugly claws. On his box was placed the inscription, “My name is Snookuns. Treat me well.

W., and then obtained another appropriation—$235,000—for a terminal market, to be erected on the wharves, for the wholesale distribution of fish and produce from the Potomac valley. i Mr. Sherman’s enthusiasm in his attempt to reduce the living expenses ofthe masses in the city of Washington is not to be confined to the District of Columbia, but the plan as outlined and partially materialized will stand as a working model for other cities whose infant death rate and racial suicide ‘ere statistically known to increase proportionately with the cost of foodstufs. Washington feels that there is a splendid purpose back of this experiment, farreaching in its various individual phases, which extend from the hard- working farmer who jogs into market long before dawn to the worried ‘woman whose household expenses are such that there is no chance to lay side enough for the education of her children. | Putting Together Bones of Mastodon Is Puzzle [= preparators and aids in the section of vertebrate paleontology of the United States National museum are busy putting together the bones and tragmeots of a huge skeleton of a mastodon secured near Winamac, Ind., by Morbi coe haat ahd Mehta ga a aa el oc ag al mals, James W.

PHONE MAIN 4730 BARGAINS Mary W The most attractive of the new gowns already displayed for the coming winter, are characterized by the long straight lines that belong to the semifitting princess, and by the inspiration of the Russian blouse. Combinations of two materials in the same gown are worked out in one-piece frocks made of cloth and silk, or cloth and velvet. Buttons and braids and sashes of the same fabrics as the gown appear with such frequency that they are assured a place in the coming season's fashions. In suits there are numbers of severely plain and perfectly tailored designs, the coats semifitting, with the skirt portion showing a ripple or full flare. Dark cloths are chosen for these. The skirts, while amply full, are not decidedly flaring but they are decidedly short. The Russian idea is developed with fine success in the various pile fabrics used for dressier suits. Many novelties in the light weight plushes and fur cloths, as well as plain velvet, promise much for the popularity of this style. One of the handsomest of these Two of the New High Two out of many beautiful specimens in footwear for fall are pictured here. They are combinations of cloth and leather in high boots for street wear, and are among the most conservative of the new designs. They are trim, shapely and neat, with everything in style and finish to recommend them. The very short skirts, which, in many instances glimpse the stockings above the boot-tops, make smart dressing of the feet imperative. New footwear embodies many styles in which contrasting colors are used with uppers made of cloth and the remainder of the shoe in dull finish or in patent kid. But the colors used for tops are quiet, with various tan and gray shades predominating. The dark colors which are correct for tailored gowns are used in the uppers for shoes to match. Or for midwinter wear spats like the tailored gown are to be worn with black shoes. Among the fancier shoes are those without seams made of light tan, black or bronze leathers, that lace on the inside. The leather uppers seem to --- suits is shown in the picture. The skirt is full and plaited and reaches to the shoe tops. It is made of a plain, light weight, silky plush with an overdrapery of a striped plush of the same color. The stripe is made by a difference in the direction of the pile and not by a difference in color. The coat is the regulation Russian model buttonging to the side. It is worn with a belt of patent leather. In the management of the collar and cuffs the designer has introduced an individual touch. A narrow "V" shaped collar is attached to the blouse apparently by high buttons. It supports wide turnover about the sides and back. The wide turned-back cuffs slope outward and the edges are curved for ward. A row of buttons finishes each of them. The long sash ends of self fabric which appear on many of the new gowns merit much consideration. Besides their pleasing novelty they are graceful and give opportunity for very effective decoration which adds much to the finish of a frock or suit. Boots for Street Wear be in one piece stretched to fit the foot. They suggest a close-fitting boot like those worn by men in days gone by. Even more daringly masculine are the short Cossack boots with their ornamental turnover band at the top. They are fascinating achievements in footwear and are steadily gaining headway, appearing with more frequency on the promenade than at any time since their introduction. Very light shades in tan are liked for all-leather street boots, to be worn with suits in any dark color. The Cossack boot ought to appear with greater frequency as the season advances and Russian street suits, fur trimmed, come more and more into vogue. Borax for Colored Linens. The delicate shades of the now fashionable colored linens may be kept from fading by using plenty of pure pulverized borax in the water in which they are washed and rinsed. FRANK S.
